The price for each share of Common Stock purchased hereunder (as adjusted as set forth herein, collectively the “Warrant Shares”) is $0.06 per share until expiration of this Warrant (as adjusted as set forth herein, the “Purchase Price”).
The Holder agrees with the Company that this Warrant is issued, and all the rights hereunder shall be held, subject to all of the conditions, limitations and provisions set forth herein.
1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
A. MANNER OF EXERCISE. Except as set forth in Section 1(D), this Warrant may be exercised in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, during the period commencing on the Commencement Date and expiring on the Expiration Date or, if any such day is a day on which banking institutions in the City of San Francisco, California, are authorized by law to close, then on the next succeeding day that shall not be such a day, by presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office with the Purchase Form attached as Annex I (the “Purchase Form”) duly executed and accompanied by payment (either in cash or by certified or official bank check, payable to the order of the Company) of the Purchase Price for the number of shares specified in the Purchase Form and instruments of transfer, if appropriate, duly executed by the Holder or its duly authorized attorney. This Warrant may also be exercised on a cashless basis according to the following: [the fair market value of this Warrant – Purchase Price] ÷ closing price per share on the market close on the last trading day prior to the exercise date (“Recent Closing Price”). For this purpose, the fair market value of the Warrant shall be calculated based on the Recent Closing Price.
B. STATUS AS HOLDER OF WARRANT SHARES; TAXES; EXPIRATION. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant, the duly executed Purchase Form and any other appropriate instruments of transfer, together with the Purchase Price, at its office, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder. The Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Warrant Shares. This Warrant shall become void, and all rights hereunder shall cease, at the close of business on the Expiration Date. The Company in its sole discretion may extend the duration of this Warrant by delaying the Expiration Date.
C. ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES. As soon as practicable after the exercise of all or any portion of this Warrant, the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days (defined below), (i) issue to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled, or, at the Holder’s request, deliver such Warrant Shares electronically if such means is otherwise presently available to and utilized by the Company, registered in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder, and (ii) if this Warrant has not been exercised in full, issue to the Holder a new countersigned warrant in substantially the same form for the Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised. This Warrant may not be exercised by, or securities issued to, any Holder in any state in which such exercise would be unlawful.
D. SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. The Company represents and warrants that: (i) such exercise does not require the Company to obtain prior stockholder approval, or (ii) stockholders have pre-approved the issuance of shares of Common Stock to Holder upon exercise of this Warrant.
2. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company will at all times reserve for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant all Warrant Shares or other shares of capital stock of the Company (and other securities and property) from time to time receivable upon exercise of this Warrant. All such shares (and other securities and property) shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of all preemptive rights.
3. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. If the holder of this Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of this Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall, upon such exercise, purchase such fractional interest, determined as follows:
| (a) | If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange (which includes the NYSE, NYSE AMEX or NASDAQ stock exchanges ) or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such exchange or listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, the current value shall be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on such exchange on the last business day prior to the date of exercise of this Warrant or if no such sale is made on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange; or |
| (b) | If the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges, the current value shall be the mean of the last reported bid and asked prices reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. on the last business day prior to the date of the exercise of this Warrant; or |
| (c) | If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the current value shall be an amount determined (i) in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and certified in a Board resolution, based on the most recently completed arm’s-length transaction between the issuer of such security and a Person other than an affiliate of such person, the closing of which occurred on such date or within the six-month period preceding such date, or (ii) if no such transaction has occurred on such date or within such six-month period, the value of the security as determined by an independent financial expert. |
4. STOCK DIVIDENDS; SPLIT-UPS. If after the issuance of this Warrant, and subject to the provisions herein the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or by a split-up of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective day thereof, the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares and the then applicable Purchase Price shall be correspondingly decreased.
5. AGGREGATION OF SHARES. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions herein, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, after the effective date of such consolidation, combination or reclassification, the number of Warrant Shares shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares and the then applicable Purchase Price shall be correspondingly increased.
6. REORGANIZATION, ETC. If after the date hereof any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation or other similar event shall be effected, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and fair provision shall be made whereby the registered holders shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and
conditions specified in this Warrant (including the payment of the Purchase Price) and in lieu of the securities of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, had such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale not taken place and in such event appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the registered holders to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Purchase Price and the Warrant Shares) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be in relation to any share of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing such assets, shall assume by written instrument executed and delivered to the Company the obligation to deliver to the registered holders such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders may be entitled to purchase.
7. FORM OF WARRANT. This Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to the terms herein, and any form of warrant issued after such adjustment may state the same Purchase Price and the same number of shares as is stated in this Warrant. However, the Company may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of this Warrant that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any warrant thereafter issued, whether in exchange or substitution for this Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed. The Company agrees to notify the Holder of any adjustment to the number of shares or Purchase Price of the Warrant, any changes to the form of this Warrant or any other change pursuant to the terms herein.
8. TRANSFER OF WARRANTS. This Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act or similar state laws. This Warrant and Warrant Shares cannot be sold or transferred by an investor unless (i) they are so registered or (ii) an exemption from registration is available at the time of transfer and, if requested by the Company, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such registration is not required is delivered to the Company. Subject to the foregoing limitations, the Company shall register the transfer, from time to time, of this Warrant upon the Company’s warrant register, upon surrender of this Warrant for transfer, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment Form in the form attached as Annex II, with signatures properly guaranteed as indicated. Upon any such transfer, a new warrant or warrants representing the aggregate number of this Warrant shall be issued and this Warrant shall be cancelled by the Company.
A restrictive legend shall be placed upon each share certificate acquired upon exercise of this Warrant in substantially the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF (I) SUCH REGISTRATION OR (II) AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM AND, IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.
The foregoing legend will be removed from the certificates representing any Warrant Shares, at the request of the holder thereof, at such time as they become the subject of an effective resale registration statement or they become eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act.
9. NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDERS. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof and payment of the full exercise price therefor, the Holder will not be entitled to any rights by virtue hereof as a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends or other distributions, to exercise any preemptive rights, to consent or to receive notice as stockholders of the Company in respect to the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter.
10. LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANTS. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company may on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may in its discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new warrant of like denomination, tenor, and date. Any such new warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
11. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles that would require the application of the law of another jurisdiction.
| 12. | NOTICES OF CERTAIN ACTIONS. In the event: |
| (a) | the Company sets a record date with respect to the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right; |
| (b) | the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or by a split-up of shares of Common Stock or other similar event; |
| (c) | the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event; |
| (d) | of any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation or other similar event; |
| (e) | of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company; |
| (f) | the bankruptcy whether voluntary or involuntary of the Company; |
then, and in each such case, the Company will provide written notice (an “Event Notice”) to the Holder at least ten days prior to (i) the record date in the case of (a) above, specifying the record date and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, and (ii) the effective date of any event specified in clause (b), (c), (d), (e), of (f) above, specifying the effective date on which such event is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock will be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such event, if applicable. Any failure to mail an Event Notice required by this Section 12 or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof will not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such Event Notice. Nothing herein shall prohibit the Holder from exercising this Warrant during the ten day period commencing on the date of an Event Notice, provided that such exercise occurs prior to the Expiration Date and the Holder otherwise complies with the terms hereof.
13. DELIVERY OF NOTICE. Notices and other communications to be given to the Holder of this Warrant evidenced by this certificate shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given, if delivered or mailed, addressed in the name and at the address of such owner appearing on the records of the Company, and if mailed, sent registered or certified mail, postage prepaid.
